The thing that baffled me as I read this point is that the choice set when sick is (a) go to work and work, or (b) stay home and work. What we should be discussing is not working at all when you're sick. Rest and get better.
I can't be the only one that finds this odd?

- globular-toast 6y agoIf you're too sick to work, then don't work. That should be simple. When you have a bad flu or tonsillitis or something, there is no choice. You are in bed. This is about those times when you can still work. Most people come into work whenever they can, even if they are carrying an infectious virus. That needs to stop. If you are sick but can still work, you should work from home.
- ryanmercer 6y agoIf I have a cold, it's annoying and makes it hard to breathe but it doesn't prevent me from working. Getting a few colds a year while working in an office is normal. I'm more than happy to work with a cold, I'd just prefer to do it from home than at an office where I'm probably going to share it with at least one other person. If I have to make a mad dash to the toilet every few minutes, then working isn't practical. If I'm burning up with fever and feel like a truck hit me, working isn't practical.
